These four albums date from the 13 months January 1956 to February 1957, a busy time for Sims, who swings fluently throughout.
"From A to Z" is the first of [at least ] five small group albums Zoot and Al Cohn co-led. On this one Dave McKenna plays piano.
"Whooeee" originally a Storyville album has also been issued on Black Lion as "Morning fun", and has Hank Jones at the keyboard and Bob Brookmeyer on trombone. "Zoot", original issued on Argo with the title "That old feeling" is a quartet date with the under-rated John Williams on piano.
"Four brothers together again" was Serge Chaloff's last recording, and although suffering from a spinal tumour, he plays well with his old colleagues from Woody's band. Herbie Steward and Cohn make up the four, and this is also a rare opportunity to hear the former.
This is all good modern jazz of its period, and the two CD set is astonishingly good value.

Sheer class from start to finish. I can't understand why it took me so long to get some digital ZS. These four albums find the elegant and unpretentious tenor man in such exalted company as Hank Jones, Bob Brookmeyer, Al Cohn and that great wasted talent, Serge Chaloff. A total delight.

This is truly a fantastic package. My only negative comment would be about the sound remastering: removing the tape hiss often messes up the high frequencies (though this may be a personal dislike). That minor flaw aside this must be the best way of obtaining four magnificent Zoot Sims titles, which are otherwise out of print or available through expensive japanese imports.
